    Their gas is super cheap compared to everyone else in my area. Like - I paid 2.99 a gallon there yesterday and another place nearby was like 3.79.

    I actually don’t fully understand why their gas is so cheap. I would think it was to get people in the store, but Bucees doesn’t generally have the gas prices posted on signs like everyone else.

      In Florida they post the price. I think it’s the law there because of the shady gas stations near airports over charging

        Wawa put in a gas station near Orlando international airport because their CEO was visiting and got pissed off by the price gouging gas stations nearby, last time I was there the Wawa was still charging reasonable prices and at least one of the other gas stations was still way overpriced (although that might be the gas station in Orlando that doesn’t want to be a gas station, they just want to be a convenience store but zoning forces them to keep gas pumps so they price the gas at obscene rates to try to keep people from buying it).

          I’m thinking of the gas station near Outback stake house near the airport. They are crazy with thier prices.

            Okay, I just looked it up, that one is just price gouging the tourists with rental cars. The one that doesn’t want to sell gas, at least according to local rumors, is the one on Vineland, I definitely recall it from going to the outlet mall but I don’t completely remember where on Vineland it is.
